Jerred Smithson out a month

The Predators recalled forward Andreas Thuresson on Saturday from Milwaukee of the American Hockey League. This is the third recall this season for Thuresson, 22, who has two assists in 10 games with Nashville.

The move was to help fill the spot of Jerred Smithson, who broke his left hand against Vancouver on Tuesday. During Saturday’s morning skate, Nashville Coach Barry Trotz said Smithson will be out at least one month.

Smithson has six goals and one assist in 37 games, including three points (two goals) in his past four games.
